The Cusp

Trigger Warning!! This book will not be for the light-hearted. it dives into deep mental illness and trauma. melodramatic emo core. The story has recently been revised and refined in order to provide the readers comfort.

In a world where justice is a blurred line between vengeance and salvation, Finnick is a man hunting monsters. To him, his work is necessary, calculated cleansing of the filth that preys on the weak. He operates in the shadows, leaving no evidence, no trace of his presence-until a single mistake threatens to unravel everything.

When he intervenes in what seems like a routine hunt, saving a woman from an assault outside a gas station, he doesn't realize she's about to become his undoing. Allison Yazzie, a troubled singer with a past that haunts her every step, is unknowingly tied to the man Finnick has just killed. A man who, according to the world, isn't dead at all.

As Allison struggles to piece her life back together after a violent bar fight with a powerful music producer, Finnick spirals into paranoia and obsession, his carefully structured world cracking under the weight of one terrifying thought: What if he didn't kill the right man?

Drawn to Allison in a way that fascinates and terrifies him, Finnick begins to watch her, unable to tear himself away from the one survivor who lingers in his mind. But as the mystery around his last kill deepens, so does his fixation on her. And when their paths inevitably cross, the line between protector and predator, savior and stalker, justice and madness will blur beyond recognition.
Because Allison isn't just a woman he saved. She is something more.
And Finnick isn't sure if she's the one who will redeem him... or destroy him.
